Father’s Day Card
Welcome to all those visiting from Card A Day Blog. Today my theme is Father’s Day. I was looking through all my pictures and this card just brought a huge smile to my face. I think this was one of my first files offered on my blog over 8 years ago and also one of my favorite and long time Creative Team members, Angie, created it. So lots of yeah and wow.
Plus these colors would be perfect for my Dad! The outdoorsy feel.
You can see more of what Angie posted about it .. here in our gallery.. And yes when you look at the name of the card and Angie listed Design Team 2007. It has been that long she has been on my Creative team. Woohoo! Phenomenal Lady and design. Love everything she does.
Thank you Angie for years and years of creativity using one of my files.
Enjoy!

CT Layout for VDBC
It seems as though it has been forever since I posted a layout created for Chris from Visual Designs By Chris (VDBC) . Chris, and Lori of Beloved Keepsakes fame, have a QMC that has just finished and this is one of Chris’s files from that collection.
I have used CD00921 – Soccer for this layout. Steve has just started playing Soccer and this week came home with the “Player of the Week” trophy and certificate. Chris’s file was perfect. I have added textures and styles to the cutter files to add dimension, but this layout has also been designed to show that personal cutter files can also be used successfully to create digital scrap layouts as well as traditional paper and card.

Cub Camp Visor – HTV project
First let me apologize if this comes over twice. My phone has had a pending post on my blogger app for about three days and well I decided to quit waiting for it and redo it. I am bummed that the blogger app doesn’t work as well as I’d like because
I’d like to sit in the evenings and do my blog posts. So I am on the look for something new in that venue.
But on to my Cub Camp Visor.
Cub Camp is coming up and I like to wear visors that go completely around in the back. These are harder to find then I thought they would be. When it is 110 outside having a visor hold your hair up off your neck is just a little reprieve from the heat. I wanted a blue visor I could wear to match my Class B Pack uniform and so I made this visor out of heat transfer vinyl (the same as the shirts I made) and some bling I picked up at a retreat with Sandy McCauley. It was fun to do. I ironed the HTV on to the visor and it was alot easier then I thought it would be with the curve. I actually ironed over the stitching and it stuck well. I didn’t want to go over the stitches, but there wasn’t another way to do it. The bling was a little crazier, but it worked. I freehand placed them and used my Jolee tool to heat set them. I am thinking about getting another and doing a red white and blue version maybe. We shall see. I just know it will be nice to have something that matches for camp, but will be easy to wear otherwise as well. Hope you like and have a wonderful day!
Enjoy!

Horse Time – Happy Mother’s Day!
I just realized my Mother’s Day post never published. so here it is a little late.. but so fun!
Happy Mother’s Day!!! Hope you are having a wonderful day. Thought I would share some pics of one of my favorite pastimes with my guys.
We are in that two week time frame of spring here in arizona. Where you can breathe the air without feeling like you are going to combust from the heat. So we took advantage of it and worked with the horses. My son impresses me always as he works with his horse. His calm reminds me of his Dad and his canny knack to get a horse to stop and listen to him. He has been riding on his own since he was 4. He is a better rider then I am at the age of ….. Well lets not go there. Here are some photos to enjoy!
Thank you to my hubby for parenting with me and being such an awesome Dad. Without you, I would be at such a loss. We have the best kid in the world, but you are a big part of why he is.
Enjoy!

Card: Monogram L
Another card by Sussann. Love it. This card is part of a Monogram file I have been giving away on my blog in pieces. Those who are current QMC members have access to those past files in the forum. I’d love to see how you use it. !
Here is what Sussann had to say about the card…..
I made this card using a free file Chris posted on her blog. I cut the initial out of pink and inked the edge. I layered it on a patterned piece of paper, edges also inked. Instant card!
Thank you Sussann!! Enjoy!

FYI
Things I need to say.
When you enter the password it says iagreetou. it means that you agree to my terms of use that this is a personal use. In order for me to keep creating freebies. Please send folks here to my blog. Another good place to find me is on my facebook page for quick updates.
Answers to Questions..
Folks ask my why am I loading to the forum and why the password. Well my other option is a site perhaps like 4shared etc. So you would follow the same steps only instead you go to the forum on the VDBC site and download. I am trying to centralize my work and time on the net so I can create create create. (I am having success with this goal as I have been creating like crazy.) So once you have registered at the forum you can continue to download the freebies by using the passwords. They change once a month rather then every time. So sometimes the forum may not even ask you for a password if you already entered it that month. 🙂 And that is the blah blah blah of today’s post.

Card: Hello by Sussann
This is a recent creative team post by my wonderful CT member Sussann. It just makes me smile. Using a cut file from the Feb-May 2012 QMC. I love the colors. I know receiving a card like this would just make me smile.
This cut file actually cuts in only a few pieces to make it as easy as possible to create a quick card for a friend.
Thank you Sussann!!! As always you make my files just look so good!
Enjoy!

Card: Made me smile… To have and to hold
Mondays are those days I miss my guys when they head to school and work. I know most would just love the peace and quiet. Which I do to a point, but then I get all excited that my guys are coming home after their jobs and school in the world.
I was breezing through our gallery… and come across this card by Heather
which made me smile and smile. Probably because I am in a mooshy mood.
Thank you Heather for sharing in our gallery.
This is an anniversary card but could be used as a wedding card etc. I just love it.
I believe this was a file from onr of my past qmcs. ( I don’t believe it has ever made it to the store. this happens from time to time.)
Thank you Heather.
Enjoy!

Scout Shirts
Family Camp is coming and with that is the end of the year. My awesome friend Julie and I lead 14 awesome Wolves. So we are working on tshirts for them to have for family camp. I cut HTV in silver and put them on navy blue shirts this morning. We still would really like them personalized. So considering our options for the kids to sign the back of them and make them fun. But this is the teeniest one I did for our honorary Wolf.. It is so cute and teeny I had to put the design in the center of the shirt. It’s gonna be such a great time! I did 16 others and need to do a few more for siblings and such. Thought you might enjoy this little sneak peak at the little one.
Enjoy!
Chris
